Breaking News: Merck & Schering to merge

While the overall economy and the state of the market isn’t good news this morning — I have to bow to the ingenuity of the breaking news just seconds ago that Merck and Schering Plough will be merging.

Nothing short of brilliant.

This would make a good morning to tune in to CNBC, who have the one and only Warren Buffet live on the air for a few hours. He’s one of the few I listen to.

No changes in the due diligence list this morning.

Just remember the usual disclaimer: Don’t base any of your investment decisions on anything you read here. Do your own due diligence, or at least enough research to pick the right professional to do it for you.
